YES, I'm still alive!!!

Yep, I'm still alive and kicking. Sorry guys. I've been all over the place lately, but I'm back to my normal self making my usual updates and blogs. HAPPY NEW YEARS!!! I didn't really have any huge new years resolutions. Just the typical; lose weight, eat healthier, get accepted into grad school and find a job. Doesn't this sound just like last year. I did succeed in some portions of my resolution last year, but not completely.

 SO....Whats New? Umm...Let's see. I got laid off from my job :-(  Yep, it sucks but I'm applying for jobs as you're reading this post lol. I'm seriously trying to focus on my music....yep, if you didn't know, now you know. I'm a musician. I usually just sing, but I just received an electric guitar, just for being me. Now I have to learn how to play, which from the look of things is going quite smoothly. I love it. Pics coming soon. I'm thinking about attending online grad school, I just haven't decided which school as of yet. In the meantime, I have Sallie Mae on my nerves everyday, so I have to hurry up and make a decision. As previously posted, I am still considering the military, but I have to burn a few calories or two, to get back to military weight criteria standards. That will another blog post by the way. Anyways, I'll try to keep ya updated....

July Braces Update!

When my orthodontist insisted on me wear my rubberbands on my braces this way, I simply looked at him and asked him,
    "Are you serious?! How do you expect me to open my mouth?" 

I had to wear rubberbands on both sides of my mouth. You wouldn't believe how many times I got popped in the mouth by the rubberbands that month. It hurt pretty bad too.

Straight Hair!

I decided to straighten my hair for the 4th of July and I was quite amazed. It has really been growing vibrantly. I'm looking forward to straightening my hair the anniversary day of my big chop on 11-11-12. I think I may end up straightening my hair before that. Anyways, I flat ironed my hair and rolled it with a few sponge rollers. After partying and walking around town, just 2 hours later, my hair was a frizz ball mess. I enjoyed it while it lasted though.

GHD!

 Good Hair Days! Yep, I was having an outstanding hair days on these days and I had to share em with you all. You can see the date on each photo and gather that I'm super late, but hey, it's better late than never. I just really liked my hair these days. I created photo 1-2 by doing my braided two strand twists, and then untwisting the twists to make a twist out. So essentially, it's really a braided twist out. Photo 3-4 is simply the same braided twists.There is one braid in the front and one braid on the side leading to a pony tail in the back.

Sister's Birthday!

The family and I decided to go out for dinner to celebrate my sister's birthday. We had a blast just laughing and talking about everyday life. We decided to go to Happy Mexican to and the food was pretty good. The workers actually sang to my sis....but unfortunately I didn't get that footage because I left my cam in the car :-(
They offered her tequila shots for her birthday, but of course the birthday girl had to turn it down because she's not quite of age just yet. I would've gladly taken them lol....jk

The parents!

The Birthday Girl!

Me!

The siblings!

She is actually squatting down to my size lol...smh

All Versatile All Naturale

So...of course I'm late in posting about my hair as with everything else. I've been natural for almost 7 months now and so I decided to do a blow out last month for my 6 month anniversary of doing the chop. Of course I didn't post a video or make a blog post because I was overwhelmed with the crap going on in my life....smh. But here are a few photos that I took. It's weird but, I decided to do a blow out and wear my hear out for a week. I felt so weird and uncomfortable with my hair out. I was kinda confused as to how to wear my hair and I just didn't feel like my normal self. It was just a weird feeling lol. I actually tried doing a puff as well and that was fun while it lasted. I finally decided to put some braided two strand twists in my hair again, hence the blow out. Seems like I've really been doing the twists alot lately.... I will be posting the video on youtube as well.
